[Realpoetik] AMBER NELSON

[RealPoetik Magazine]

*from* Birds of the World Unite



Humboldt Penguin Meets Brown Pelican



in the open

air—noses



into breath

swim mighty



& light—away

into the dark







Blyth’s Tragopan



a bright beacon

oranges of



loss or rather

of losing







Keel-Billed Toucan



yellow light



sharpened

against the branches
